  • “Remember When, the lowest Form of Conversation”

    I didn’t think it possible. Benza, a clueless embarrassment, who has coughed, snorted and whistled through rotting teeth about his mediocre wannabe past of 30+ years ago, setting surreal self obsessed all time lows, has somehow sank even further. “Hair Parts” is a new low, this circle jerk of the bottom of the bowl will make you miss the gypsy Charo mangle the English language.

    Great show if you enjoy listening to someone spiral out of control. Benza has become so toxic that his gypsy fortune teller friend has left the show and fled back to Ukraine. While his poor sister has to tend to an ailing husband and cook 3 meals a day for the Benz, all he can do is bemoan the lack of crisp Italian bread for his tuna sandwich. I thought he was on a diet!

  • What Happened to this Show?

    Trash. Just absolute trash. Rehashed stories, and constant crying and whining. No new gossip (he has no new sources). He rips off other podcasts or just reads from the NY Post. His substack was a money grab. He hasn’t posted anything since December….
